The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Weighed But Found Wanting (Filipino: Tinimbang Ka Ngunit Kulang; also known as Human Imperfections ) is a 1974 Filipino drama film directed by Lino Brocka and co-written by Mario O'Hara. Starring Christopher De Leon in his debut role, Hilda Koronel, Lolita Rodriguez, and Eddie Garcia, the story follows a disillusioned young man who forms an unusual friendship with the town's pariahs: a leper and a madwoman. Considered one of Brocka's most important films, it won six awards (including Best Picture) at the 23rd FAMAS Awards in 1975. In 2026, the film was digitally restored and remastered by the cooperation of the Film Development Council of the Philippines, Carlotta Films, and Janus Films. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
